They noted an Engineer vessel was inbound, and the entire populace rushed to meet it near the city's landing platform(obviously thinking it was the Engineers themselves; not David) -- this appeared to be some sort of ritual of theirs. Once they were all crowded in, David released his payload of Black Goo.
However, I am still of the opinion that was NOT the true Engineer homeworld, but rather, one of the thousands/millions of planets the Engineers have seeded with life over the millennia. The civilization/culture looked much too archaic to have spawned Engineer-level technology, imo. /shrug

Don't think Man Thing, Ironman, Doom, Mercury or Emma Frost would survive this. I'm sure the black mass would probably live within her diamond form until she turns human and once that happens, it is a done deal. Same with Ironman. As soon as that suit is off, it's over. The others would probably get overwhelmed by the aliens and either ate or outright destroyed. No way they survive a planet full of aliens and looking at the clips, more than one was jumping into people mouth which probably means 5 or 6 (probably more) was hatching out of one human. I know that was an ongoing sentence but I'm driving and didn't have enough time for a period, comma, etc...
By the way, that girl that was in the dome healing her wounds with some type of ointment was dumb as hell. Why would she wonder off by herself? She deserved to get chewed up (even though i felt bad for her).
Covenant was chalk full of dumb decisions and glaring inconsistencies. I'm usually quite forgiving to the Alien franchise(because it's great), but damn, RS made this film really hard to enjoy...on any level.

Got a question...after David finished fighting his other half and we see him pop back up at the end when they was running for the space ship, did anyone else besides me know that wasn't the Android that showed up with the crew. Was I the only who knew she was carrying David back to the mother ship with the rest of the crew?
I thought it was pretty obvious that it was David. Typically if the villain and hero are fighting...and we don't *see* the villain die...it means he is still alive.
...Not to mention that Ridley Scott isn't just going to waste such a fantastic antagonist before he completes this leg/installment of the Alien franchise.

I was surprised she didn't even think about it being him. She knew they were fighting, why wouldn't she take the safe route and contain him until she knew for sure who she was flying with. That was retarded.
I'd expect everyone tangible and their outer layer of skin composed of cells to die, unless they're capable of erecting magical or telekinetic shields.
I don't see Wolverine surviving it because he relies on his X-gene for his healing factor, and his X-gene is part of his DNA which would be rewritten by the goo.
